A MARKET NIGHTMARE... BAD DAY AT MARKET SELLING MY BEST COWS...

4 місяці тому

In today's video we are going to market to sell dairy heifers for the very first time!
We have to many and need to make some room, we don't have to many cull cows.
How do you think we would do? Did we get a fair price?
Hope you enjoyed the video !!

Having taken cows, bulls, sheep and goats to the stockyards, it’s a rollercoaster!! Daddy would call previous customers and let them know we were taking stock to market. That way we had a better chance of having two people who wanted them. You don’t get a good price unless you have two people competing!

@flatheadV8 4 місяці тому

For those of you who wondered what happened at 15.48, the person at the ringside made a bid by raising his notebook. The auctioneer will know his regular buyers and what to look for when they bid, often a subtle movement of some kind.

Growing up I would go the local market on Fridays during the school holidays. Basically for buying you would go to a dealer, and say what you wanted to buy, often if you bid yourself the auctioneer would not take your bid. There would be a few buyers for farmers and the precessing plant. The auctioneer new them well.

You learn something every day. The more you go to market, the more you learn what people are looking for. All your cows are good producers. The buyer will know he got a bargain after milking her. Onward and upward Tom. Cheers to Joanna, Harvey, Ginger and the rest of the family and crew.

Hello Tom and everyone else! Tom, thanks for taking us along, another great story. I've never been to an auction, so very interesting. Don't stress about what you COULD have got for that cow. You got what the market was willing to pay. I'm sure you will do better next time! Be well and safe travels. I hope Jo and Jr are well.

@FarmersSss 4 місяці тому

The auctioneer was bang on about your cows. I buy a few from time to time and personally I wouldn't buy a jersey cross but would buy your other two. Your better off keeping hold of your jersey crosses because they will never make as much unless the right people are there on the day looking to buy them type.

@aenea22980 4 місяці тому

What's the issue with Jersey crosses?

@TomPembertonFarmLife 4 місяці тому

Yeah get it but it wasn’t a jersey cross 🙈 I think it was British Friesan x. But then if people thought it looked like it 🤦‍♂️

@FarmersSss 4 місяці тому

@@aenea22980 no issue at all with jersey crosses, just farmers who tend to have/buy more Holstein cows will more than likely also buy a Friesian and Ayrshire., but won't buy a jersey or x. For them types then it's more of a select market for them to achieve a higher price. But if there cheap then someone who doesn't usually buy them might take a gamble and buy one, "just because it's cheap"

Always thought it was about yield too, seen heifers do well at shows & sales that are dripping & pouring milk in the ring but that was pre-covid, things can & do change fast in farming. Every day is a school day so now you know a bit more about the market game. Great video again Tom & great to see new farms to consider following too 🐄🐄

@TwospotzArtAndCraft 4 місяці тому

They were a NICE trio, and they will make their new owners happy and they might just pop back and go "Got more of them super milking wee awesome lassies?" So stay the course, make the local Pemberton Cow a "thing" and you'll be on track there. Your farm has a plan and sticking to it is a GOOD idea! Next batch will be fiiiine. Just get the word out that some darn nice smaller cows, suitable for the smallholdings, smaller farms and such are coming! Them big Holsteins scare me whilst that beautiful red one was supernice! ;-)

I've been watching your videos for I believe a couple years now and despite me not partaking myself, your channel has genuinely helped me improve my perspective on what goes on in the world around me. I live in Lincolnshire so farming is extremely relevant, nothing but fields here. But not only with farming, that improved perspective has helped me further respect the hidden inner workings of everything. Long story short, you helped an already positive person see the world in an even better light through your humble farming. Big respect mate, and keep on being you, legend.

Like you say Tom its a learning curve and like life, at auction you have to take the rough with the smooth. You shouldn't be to disappointed, you got a good prices for the calves and for the Red Heifer. 👍😊

@chrisforsberg7328 4 місяці тому

Hi Tom, your first sale of farm bred heifers was a good learning experience. Some farmers are in the market to buy replacement stock can be very picky as shown by the difference in prices. I think you did very well considering you bred the heifers and got a calf off them. You are a lot wiser now with what goes on at sales and as you say "if you present good heifers they will be bought by repeat buyers". In Aussie now your £1800 heifer would have made $3416 which is above our latest average sale prices which was $2800 in December. It's the start of a new adventure for the Pembelton Farm and I know you will take on the challenge with your usual style of rationally working it out. Good luck with futue sales.

@charlesgould2168 4 місяці тому

@andrewjones-productions 4 місяці тому

Brings back a lot of happy memories of going to the sheep market in Ruthin (the old one), the Beast Market in Wrexham and the livestock market in Oswestry. Oswestry was my favourite. We'd have a packed lunch in the back of my great uncle's mini van, made by my great aunt and her food was always fantastic. Strange as it sounds, but seeing this footage brings back the smells and flavour of those packed lunches. We Welsh call Oswestry 'Croesoswallt' and the market was fondly referred to as 'Siswallt' - a kind of short form of the Welsh name for the town. Hearing 'Siswallt' being mentioned always meant that there was something exciting about to happen. I can remember having strict orders to not flinch during the auction in case the auctioneer thought that we were buying. As if the auctioneer was going to take a bid from a child 🤣, highly unlikely of course, but I suppose that was my great uncle's way of teaching us about how an auction worked.

@billjoat 4 місяці тому

To me, that was just like selling a car, being I've been in automotive for 35 years. Your car isn't as shiny as your better model from the get-go. Plus the gas mileage isn't as good as some plus its paint isn't as shiny and clean plus a few bumps in it also. But its your car and you love it. Its a good solid car. Then you sell it for no reserve because you want it to be sold and don't want to stop the sale because others don't like it as well as you do since you've had it for a while. Anyway you've sold it for less than you wanted but you're still glad you sold it and you'll be back to hopefully sell to the same guy once he realizes that it was a GOOD car and maybe I'll bring another again. Great video and GREAT experience. Thanks for sharing your life with me.

Cows need good body confirmation, from my YFC days one leg on each corner , good stance , not on heels or toes, 4 teats at each corner of bag , good wide backend for ease of calving, and then it is down to buyer preference. So Tom ,as auctioneer says, you may have felt you lost abit on middle heifer, but if buyer feels they got a good deal, they will be back and maybe spread the word. of course it depend how often you sell at market, if it is just infrequent then you may be new kid on the block each time. its all a learning curve.

@philiprichardson3074 4 місяці тому

It all comes down to that time in the ring, the red one and the third heifer both looked like they will milk well, last for multiple lactations and deliver that dairy character to the next generation. The second didn't show well in the ring and with the other elements mentioned combined for a lower price than she was worth. Auction days are the best and worst of times but just remember that as a new seller good heifers like those will continue to fly the flag for your herd for years to come in the new herds they join. Also three less in the cowshed which is good for the herd when slightly overstocked.

@phil6465 4 місяці тому

Tom. You and your dad were both there. The auctioneer should have asked before knocking the second one down. But to be fair she didn’t present well in the ring, but he should have still asked!

@Fieldsonyoutube 4 місяці тому

Think at the end of the day your overstocked therefore have to make room to have more up and coming herds As you say it was all new to you and at the end of the day you have to maybe make mistakes to actually learn from them going forwards. I'm also wondering if their is a better time of year to sell, you kind of mentioned it in your video in the first moments of it that when they are in the field you don't have to worry about the overstock, I wonder if this also has a reverse to it where the buyers maybe take a bit more risk because they could just put it in the field for x amount of months without worry about the actual feeding of it as it would graze off the land. That would be interesting to find out

All a learning curve, mate. Must be a daunting environment for the not so regulars to auctions. Never really thought about the different dairy breeds.

As always, another fantastic video 😊

It’s always tricky extracting value out of your crossy cows in the sale ring. If I sell, I sell off the ones I don’t like, which tend to be the bigger Holstein types that the buyers like. Look at this as an opportunity to sell cows that don’t suit your system as well as that 1200 heifers, keep them and sell the bigger lanky types. All the best mate 👌
